Update: Progress and Continued Action in our Petition Against Activision

Dear signatories and supporters of the petition to boycott Activision,

We want to express our gratitude for your unwavering commitment to this cause. Since the launch of our petition, significant developments have taken place, reflecting the impact of our collective voices. Here is an update on the progress made and the ongoing actions required to hold Activision accountable.

1. Workplace Culture:

Activision has taken initial steps towards addressing the allegations of a toxic workplace culture. Independent investigations have been conducted, resulting in the identification of areas needing improvement. We acknowledge these efforts, but we firmly emphasize that meaningful change must follow. We will continue to closely monitor Activision's actions and advocate for sustained improvements in their workplace environment.

2. Business Practices:

Our demand for fair monetization practices remains steadfast. Recognizing the growing dissatisfaction among gamers, Activision has acknowledged the need for more consumer-friendly approaches. They have committed to reducing reliance on predatory microtransactions and loot boxes in their games. While this is a positive step forward, we must ensure that these commitments are upheld and that further progress is made in creating fair and transparent systems of monetization.

3. Innovation and Player-Focused Decision-Making:

We have seen some positive developments regarding game innovation and player-focused decision-making at Activision. The company has announced new intellectual properties (IPs) and expressed a commitment to delivering fresh and immersive experiences. This renewed focus on innovation is encouraging, and we will continue to advocate for the delivery of high-quality games that captivate players and push the boundaries of creativity.

Our collective boycott has made an impact by raising awareness and compelling Activision to address several of our concerns. However, our work is not complete. It is crucial to maintain our momentum and ensure that Activision follows through on their promises. Here's how you can contribute to our ongoing efforts:

1. Spread the word: Share updates on social media, forums, and among your gaming communities. Encourage others to join our cause and sign the petition. Awareness is key in driving change.

2. Continue the boycott: Stay committed to abstaining from purchasing or playing Activision games until our demands are fully met. Demonstrating our resolve is vital for creating lasting change.

3. Engage in constructive dialogue: Reach out to Activision through various channels, expressing your concerns and expectations. Encourage open conversations about workplace culture, fair monetization, and innovative game development.

4. Support alternative companies: Explore games and publishers that align with your values and prioritize player satisfaction and ethical practices. By supporting these alternatives, we send a clear message to the industry about our expectations as consumers.

We want to thank each and every one of you for your dedication to this cause. Together, we have ignited a movement demanding accountability and positive change within the gaming industry. Let us continue to stand united, amplify our voices, and inspire a brighter future for gaming.

In solidarity,

Christopher Miller
